I also have BlueSky invitations to share! And if I don't have any, I know where to direct you to several invitation-donation efforts. I chose to leave Twitter/X many months ago now, but to be honest I should have made the decision even earlier than that. I was reluctant to leave - over time, I had built up a network of 6000 followers, found community, and been able to extend my reach beyond the limitations of being a scholar at a primarily-undergraduate, teaching-focused institution. Twitter had, for a long time, felt like a way to democratize and open the constructed borders of academia. But it changed. It changed as soon as ownership changed, and I suppose the smart money would have made the jump then - I DID try to find an alternative and I created an account on Mastodon, but it didn't really 'stick' for me. Most of my community had not yet moved and I found the federated structure a little challenging to navigate. I also just didn't have that habit of checking there, so days would go by before I remembered to log back in and catch up. And then the changes at Twitter started to accelerate. The blue check system was implemented and my engagement dropped to 0, which I think clinched it for me - why tweet if no one even sees it? I knew I needed a clean break, so I accepted a BlueSky invitation and deactivated my account (and it is now gone forever). Since then, I have seen Twitter/X continue to spiral into a cesspool. I think anyone with a choice should use that choice to refuse to contribute content to that platform, because content sustains it. Users sustain it. And it is dangerous. I'm not naïve. I grew up on the internet. I was an early adopter of LiveJournal and had community there. I joined Facebook back when you had to have a school email address. I've seen social media platforms come and go, and I know that what I like about BlueSky now likely won't last forever - it'll eventually have ads, it'll eventually (already does) have content moderation issues, it may eventually be overrun by people who ruin things for fun. But for now, it has been a place to land and I like it. It's less of a firehose of content than Twitter was, which is actually nice. It doesn't push content at me, which means I have to seek it out, and that has meant making some new connections. I've also taken the opportunity to use the platform differently, to be more authentically myself and engage across a greater number of communities and affinity groups. I really like the ability to create, follow, and integrate specific feeds into my timeline, like the "Craftiverse" and "AcademicSky" feeds. People have even started a cute little book club! So, all this to say: If you're looking for a Twitter alternative that is pretty good (for now), consider BlueSky. I have two codes available right now and, as I mentioned, there are several code donation efforts that collect codes and distribute them as needed.

🤯 What do these 4 images have in common? In 2014 Sony Picture was hacked by the North Korean group called Guardian of Peace over the making of the film The Interview. 😧 You've probably all heard the story 🤔. Unfinished films, actors' passports, emails and salaries were leaked onto the internet by the hackers... 👿 How was the problem solved? 🕵🏻🕵🏻 The FBI started looking for malware 🔎. Once found, they began a forensic analysis of the malware using IDA Pro. Using this type of analysis, the FBI and other forensic investigators were able to search for the hackers' fingerprints. 10 years on, IDA Pro is still the reference when it comes to disassembly.😎😎 The good news is that we have a LOT of opportunity to share for 2024. 🎁🎁 Join Hex-Rays if you're one: - Senior C++ Developer. - Senior Architect C++. - Support Specialist. - Business Developer. - NodeJs Developer. - IT Technical Writer.
